Seems like the alternates (218,219,221) don't list an HD counterpart at this time. Any gueses as to if they will when they are in use on Saturday? I believe there are 3 games on a noon eastern on Sat.

I would anticipate that the Alternate Channels will be in HD also. DirecTV has the capacity and Dish Network broadcasts all of the BTN games in HD so I would hope DirecTV would do so for competitive reasons. We should know more when the specific games are added to the program guide in the next day or two.

Any word on whether FSN will be airing Gopher games in HD? As much as I despise them, ANY college hockey in HD is ok in my book, and it'd be nice if they at least had the home games in HD. Supposedly BTN is airing the College Hockey Showcase, hopefully it's all in HD.
